What Are The Caps On Florida’s Sales Tax Holiday?

Many Florida residents are looking forward to saving money on the big back-to-school sales happening during Florida’s “sales tax holiday.” As you may know, from August 3 through August 5, Florida state sales tax is waived on many school supplies and most clothing and accessories.

You also must know that there is a price-per-item cap involved with the free sales tax offer. Here’s how it works. If you’re buying clothing like coats, dresses, leggings, nightgowns, pants, shorts or sweaters, the most an item can cost is $60. The cap is the same on accessory items like purses, rain boots, shoes, belts and ties too.

If you’re picking up school supplies like folders, glue, compasses and calculators, the maximum price-per-item is $15. So, most graphic calculators for the older kids will not be tax free.

You should also know that this year, computers are not included in items offered with no sales tax. In previous years, computers were allowed, but they’ve been removed from the list this year.
